Pinecrest golf course management puts safety first

Two Sun City Bicycle Club board members visited Pinecrest golf course in March asking the management team to review the traffic patterns using the access tunnel that runs under Bluffton Parkway, and its junctions with the multi-use pathway. We applaud Pinecrest’s responsiveness in solving the potential safety hazards there under the direction of P.J. Politan.

Pinecrest has repaired the lighting system inside the tunnel, added yellow CAUTION signs, and most importantly, posted large, red stop signs on both sides. These stop signs clearly require all traffic inside the tunnel — golf carts, maintenance vehicles, pedestrians, and bikes — to come to a complete stop before exiting the tunnel as they merge onto the multi-use path.

Many thanks to the Pinecrest golf course management team for putting safety first.
